In the future, nobody will buy printed newspaper or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some predict that in the years to come, printed
media
, like books and newspapers, will no longer be purchased by the masses as accessing them via illegal pirate websites is becoming increasingly common. This
essay somewhat agrees that there will be a decrease in purchasing printed material because of its high prices as well as
the popularisation of using illegal pirate sites
, but also
argues that people
will still continue to purchase printed media
as a form of appreciation towards the authors
making them.
One of the main reasons people
stop purchasing printed media
these days is because of its overwhelmingly high prices. It is much more cost-efficient and easy to look up what they want to read and browse through several sites
to obtain them instead
of going to an actual library, spending money, and then
being able to read. This
makes information much more accessible and can even cater to those less fortunate who do not have the funds to purchase educational school books, for instance
. As a result
, more people
have access to education which will result in their overall
improved quality of life in the future. However
, this
is done at the expense of hardworking authors
who poured their talent and knowledge into their writing while
not being given the proper appreciation and recognition they deserve. This
is why I believe that in the future, people
will still buy printed books in order to support these artists.
Another reason why buying print materials is becoming less common is the normalization of using pirated websites. These sites
offer illegal media
and content at the click of a button. Consequently
, as they become increasingly common, people
grow more and more oblivious as to how harmful this
actually is to the writing industry and also
the economy as a whole. For example
, authors
sometimes have to take up different professions at once because they just aren’t making enough money through writing alone, and some might even quit writing altogether.
To conclude
, I do believe that, to a certain extent, the sales of printed media
will continue to dissipate in the coming years due to
the lack of interested buyers and the accessibility of obtaining them through illegal sites
. That being said, I still believe that people
will show their appreciation towards authors
by purchasing their physical products, even though the same is available for free online.Submitted by studymeterr on
